RE: GAUGE BACKLIGHT and SHOCK NOISE

Augustin,

Yes there is a small bulb which is 12v 1.2w in a bulb holder behind the light, I don't know how they come out on your car, but I guess if they are like mine then all three will be on a panel together that is removed by removing the gear lever trim surrounding it. Haynes may help here as to where the screws are. When you get it out you may need to GENTLY use a pair of pliers to twist out the bulb holder. I would be tempted to replace all 3 whilst you are in there, save you doing it later.

On the suspension noise, could be the spring moving on the spring seat a little. Could be a number of other things like worn track rod end, balljoint, cv joint. Best thing you can do is to have a listen underneath the car whilst someone is turning the steering wheel lock to lock.


Regards

Iain

Hello !

I have no backlight for my oil temperature gauge of my '89 90 ( one of the 3 round VDO gauges near the gear lever... ) Is the light removeable ?? seems not to be...

I also sometimes ear a small shock when turning strong at low speed. What may it be ? suspension or transmission part ??

Thanks
